Title:An Irish Tragedy: How Sex Abuse By Irish Priests Helped Cripple The Catholic Church

Investigative reporter Joe Rigert’s search for the roots of the Catholic sex-abuse scandals led him to Ireland, where he found that rigid sexual repression in both society and the priesthood has had the opposite of its intended effect, fostering bizarre and criminal sexual expression. Though a tiny country, Ireland has been a chief exporter of abusers to America, making the Catholic Church’s darkest crisis a true Irish tragedy.
